I think I've used up the Internet.

I can't seem to find anything new or interesting anywhere on the Internet anymore. Every place I explore, I find the same old stuff. Cyberspace used to be an adventure. Now it's just a barren field full of trampled down weeds and assorted rusting cans and pieces of scrap.

On Youtube check out the South Korean women's short track speed skating team.
There are lots of races. One if them, Shim Suk-Hee hs been a speedster for some years. AND 19 year old Choi Min-Jeong is a human rocket. If she is anywhere within 10 meters of the leader with 2-3 laps to go, watch out !! It's game over.

😍🤣🤣


I have a friend in Seoul who is a friend of Choi's mother.

Handed down from my parents. I think my dad probably paid a little every month to receive a new one way back when. He packed them away to give to us kids and now I've packed them away to give to mine. I don't think my dad ever read them and I haven't either. Can't bring myself to give them away, though. Terrible.

reruns of the reruns of Ancient Aleins or Law and Order SVU?! This may be the opportunity to read the unabridged dictionary cover to cover! Oh well, life sucks and we can watch drumpf destroy our nation in real time.

Yep! This below is an Armenian alphabet teaching tool!

So this this:

If I had a million hours to spend, I might learn it.

Although I'm Armenian and know some of the language, there is no frame of reference. Hindi is much much easier. So, if you want to learn something cool, but challenging learn Hindi free online.

If you want to learn something that will take up the rest of your life, learn Armenian online.

Refreshing my Spanish would be a worth pursuit.

Or I could learn Dutch. It's supposed to be pretty easy for English speakers.

Or I could invent my own language and nobody could ever tell me I was speaking it incorrectly!

I found one today: fubsiness.

The quality of being fubsy: low and squat, or short and wide.

I found it while reading The Goldfinch. Read!
